Strawberry Cheesecake Muddy Buddies – Strawberry Cheesecake flavored muddy buddies! The perfect snack that is ready in just 10 minutes!
See? Told you I’ve had cheesecake on my mind lately. That roundup of 35 Cheesecake Themed Recipes (click HERE to see!) was just the beginning. My favorite cheesecake is traditional New York style cheesecake, with a little drizzle of raspberry or strawberry sauce on top. That’s the best cheesecake.
And let me tell you how I feel about chocolate. Dark chocolate = nasty stuff. Milk chocolate = wonderful. White chocolate = absolute bliss. I think every muddy buddy recipe on Creme de la Crumb calls for white chocolate. Butterscotch Muddy Buddies, Vanilla Coconut Muddy Buddies, Peppermint Crunch Muddy Buddies… yep, all white chocolate.
Now don’t freak out because I know New Years was basically yesterday but… I made these with Valentines Day in mind. Is that terrible?? I’m sorry! Maybe a bit premature, but let’s be honest, Walmart busted out the conversation hearts before Christmas so, according to them I’m way behind. You could add all sorts of different things to these Strawberry Cheesecake Muddy Buddies to make them festive. Afore mentioned conversation hearts, gummy bears, strawberry jelly beans, the possibilities are endless. And if you love strawberry cheesecake, the flavor just can’t be beat!

Oh, I love this muddy buddy recipe! It is so pretty with the red sour balls. And no, I don’t think it is too early for Valentine’s Day treats…….Christmas stuff was out on blogs for over a month before Christmas actually got here so why not V Day???? 😉 Saw this on Food Gawker by the way!
I never seen Strawberry pudding, Did you mean Strawberry Jello? I just made this used strawberry jello, turned out great, thanks for the recipe.
The recipe seems to be missing a box of pudding…? It says to “Whisk together jello pudding mixes in a small bowl”, but there’s only one box of strawberry lised. It is cheesecake pudding in addition to the strawberry?
Sorry about that. The recipe is updated! Should be one box of strawberry and one box of cheesecake.
